McCain 2.0: Asks Supporters to Post Talking Points on Blogs

Although John McCain admits being late to the whole computer game, his campaign is far from clueless about new media. The McCain camp has identified the comment section of blogs as a crucial campaign front, and just launched an effort to spread talking points on political blogs and news websites.

The campaign provides prewritten comments (on topics like the economy and partisanship), and all supporters have to do is copy and paste them into comment sections. McCain also provides a list of suggested blogs, breaking them into liberal, conservative, and moderate suggestions. Of course the campaign doesn't want supporters' efforts to go without thanks; those who report their work on McCain's website will be rewarded with "points" through the McCain Online Action Center.

While just kicking off his efforts to dominate the blogosphere, McCain already has YouTube covered. To see how, read more.

The McCain campaign seems like it's figuring out how to get its message out, but I'm not sure it is worth resorting to negative ads or spamming comments sections. What do you think? Is the blog-comment program dishonest or brilliant?

Thanks HF, finally felt like summer.
A couple of posts have been taken out for reasons not immediately clear to me. Citizen said the other day to watch for a Top Talker announcement, but since then, nuthin'
Thank you Mr. McCain, and may I say you're looking spry this evening.

It's fine if the site wants to delete comments, but it kind of makes stuff not make sense in the remaining context.
Also, do deleted comments still count towards top talker? Do we do that anymore? Who is it for July?
Maybe I am addicted to citizensugar...
